So many keywords and not a lot of info about what this actually does. I am feeling more and more that most AI stuff being funded now is just crypto 2.0.
Well it's there in the name, they add machine learning to Postgres. They are not the only ones doing this, I am working on a similar idea and I don't think all of us are as misguided as the crypto bros of 2022. This is as much about Postgres as it is about AI. No one has yet successfully communicated what those in the know are seeing, and it is sort of hard to explain but relational databases are a good match for AI. Personally my strategy is to try to build compelling application instead of an infrastructure play, but to each its own and I wish them the best.
This maybe seems like a dumb question if you spend your life thinking about it, but I'm not seeing what the interesting relationship is between those two things.
Honestly just look at their homepage: https://postgresml.org. I'm usually the first to criticize products for using buzzwords and making it very unclear what they do, but of all the AI products I've seen their homepage has to be one the clearest pages I've encounter in the space.
The example there makes it immediately obvious what it does and I won't repeat it here. If it's not clear to you probably you are not the target market.
I already told you I don't want to talk about this here and now. It is not dumb but it is disrespectful to demand explanations from strangers, like I have time for this.
stock prices are proxy for perception of company. that perception matters in different ways for those that don't have a ticker (founder prestige, fundraising, hiring, etc)
Really? I don't know if you wanted to really want to understand what it is or you are from the cult of anti AI.
This is just announcement for the fundraising. See its landing page for what it actually does. It has full code examples in the main section, which makes it very clear. It has many more examples throughout the landing page. Also the docs seems to be of quite good quality.

I don't think he's in the cult of anti AI, although with headlines like this one, which I myself don't fully get, I can see how that "cult" will grow over time. If you're working on amazing AI projects, please make sure you are not just throwing marketing buzzwords around, make sure people understand what the purpose of your work is, what it solves or what it can be used to solve, then say "using AI space interconnected elector" or whatever its actually using to solve those problems.
There are a lot of reasons to be skeptical of specific AI applications and even opposed to the progression of the technology in general. Grouping all of those together as a single cult is reductive, adversarial and defensive, I'm not sure why you'd do it in good faith.
Something I think about often is that people who study cults don't use the word cult to describe them. It's too broad, dismissive, and negatively associated to be useful for actual curious work. Anyway.
